Hi, Sorry. This has got to be me just not seeing the right way about this. What do I have to do on my Gentoo AMD64 machine with a working CUPS printer to share it with other Gentoo desktop machines here at home?
I have a working CUPS printer on my machine. I want to print to it from my wife and son's machines. I've been trying to figure out how to set that up but cannot get the right configuration. It seems that the Gentoo Printing Guide is somewhat silent on this. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml On the machine with the printer I've done what I think the guide has asked for, modified for my network IP addresses: <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.1.* </Location> Port 631 (make sure the next two lines are commented out) #Listen 127.0.0.1:631 #Listen localhost:631 At this point I believe I'm supposed to set up IPP printing on the remote machines but everything I've tried there results in messages about the printer not being found, not responding, not existing, etc. I'm telling CUPS that it's an IPP printer and trying addresses like: ipp://lightning/ipp ipp://lightning/ipp/port1 etc. However when I try to print to it I get messages in CUPS like: "Destination printer does not exist!" I'm sure it's just me not understanding the right way to input the printer's address. Thanks in advance, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
